System messages

You can create system messages that will be displayed to the end users in the user interface of the WorkZone applications. For example, you can create a system message about planned maintenance hours during which your system will be down, or any other important information. You can assign a required access code to a system message, and thereby define whether this message will be displayed to all users or only to specific users and groups of users.

System messages are displayed prominently at the top of WorkZone Client or WorkZone One (depending on your selected scope) whenever the browser is loaded or reloaded. By using the Always visible option for a system message, you can determine whether the users will be able to close it:

• When the Always visible option is enabled: Users cannot close this message, but it is semi-transparent and can be clicked through.
• When the Always visible option is disabled: Users can close this message by clicking on it (yet the message will reappear, if the browser is reloaded or reopened).

Create a new system message

1. In WorkZone Configurator, click Global > System messages.
2. On the System messages page, click Create to open the Create system message form.
3. Fill in the following fields:
   • Title: Enter the message title (visible to users). Optionally, click Localize title, and:
     • In the Label (da-DK) field, enter a Danish label for the custom type if you need to provide a Danish label.
     • In the Label (de-DE) field, enter a German label for the custom type if you need to provide a German label.
     • In the Label (en-GB) field, enter an English label for the custom type if you need to provide a specific English label.
   • Message text: Enter the message text (visible to the users). Optionally, click Localize message, and:
     • In the Label (da-DK) field, enter a Danish label for the custom type if you need to provide a Danish label.
     • In the Label (de-DE) field, enter a German label for the custom type if you need to provide a German label.
     • In the Label (en-GB) field, enter an English label for the custom type if you need to provide a specific English label.
     Tip: You can also use in your message text valid HTML code (incorrect code will be ignored) and SVG icons as a code (to obtain the code, open your SVG icon in any text editor, and copy the displayed code).
   • Scope: From the droplist, select the scope for your system message:
     • GLOBAL: The system message will be shown on the WorkZone landing page, as well as in the WorkZone One and WorkZone Client interfaces.
     • WZONE: The system message will be shown in the WorkZone One interface.
     • WZC: The system message will be shown in the WorkZone Client interface.

     • Error: The message is displayed in a red message field.
     • Information: The message is displayed in a blue message field.
     • Warning: The message is displayed in an orange message field.
   • Always visible: Control whether the users will be able to close the message in the user interface:
     • When the Always visible option is enabled: Users cannot close the message, but it is semi-transparent and can be clicked through.
     • When the Always visible option is disabled: Users can close the message by clicking on it (yet the message will reappear, if the browser is reloaded or reopened).
   • Start date: The date when this system message becomes active. Before the start date, the message is invisible on the user interface.
